Scientists can predict what fate awaits a person as early as 8 years of age
Researchers from the University of Jyväskylä and the Research Center for Gerontology (Finland) released data researchin progress since 1968. They were lookinglinks between the behavior of 8-year-old children and how this will affect their body weight in adulthood, love of physical education, smoking and addiction to alcohol.
For example, if the girls were friendly and constructive in conflict situations, then this resulted in greater physical activity at the age of "over 40".
What if children of both sexes were noticeably more sociable than others, played more with each other, it predicted more drinking in girls and smoking in boys.
If children listened well to elders, then in the future it manifested itself in the form of increased self-discipline and, as a result, more active sports.
It also led to higher school success during adolescence and often higher education. And this, in turn, to the less attractiveness of alcohol and cigarettes.
As for obesity, according to the findings of scientists, children with "indicators of negative emotionality" - that is, with neuroticism. In general, this condition in adulthood often led to bad habits. And they, in turn, lead to poor health, lower life expectancy, and so on.
What conclusion can be drawn from this?
The most banal.
Take care of your children, educate them, let them grow up happy, successful, healthy.
